Biographical History: George Sims was born in Windsor, NSW in 1890 to Walter Henry Sims and Louisa Lock of the Darug people. He was working as a labourer in Goomeri when he enlisted in Brisbane 10 June 1918.
Sims was initially assigned to the 5th General Reinforcements, Queenslandopen_in_new and trained at Rifle Range Camp, Enoggera, just outside the city of Brisbane. Sims left Brisbane aboard a specially assigned troop train bound for Sydney where they embarked on the troopship HMAT Borda in July 1917 arriving in England 6 weeks later in late September.
While training at military camp at Fovant, in Wiltshire he was assigned to the 26th Infantry Battalion but fell ill in late October with chronic bronchitis and was admitted to the Military Hospital at Hurdcott, another Australian facility.
Simms was never to see action in the front line, the war had ended in Europe by the time he was well enough to participate. He was repatriated to Queensland in December 1918 returning on the hospital ship Somali.
Sims lived and worked in both Queensland and NSW – Cloncurry, Wowan in the Dawson Valley and Junee, in the Riverina region of NSW; he married Mary Ellen Armstrong in 1939.

The following text was taken from the website:
www.alpinecarving.com/boards.html
"Sims previously made the legendary Sims Burner, a stiff split-tail race board that Mark Fawcett helped design. It has very high stability and is designed for pure speed, but with the maneuverability of a shorter board. '00 was the last season that you could buy a Sims Burner in the US, but it was continued for a few years later in Japan, then the model was manufactured under the Hasco brand until '03. Burners require some care when riding, since it is possible to break the tail if you land on it hard. It came in lengths of 162, 167, 188, and 197: all lengths except the 162 had a split tail. Burners are becoming increasingly rare, since the tails continue to break on what few boards still remain. If you own a Burner, you'll probably break the tail sooner than later. The 178 length was custom made for the Japanese snowboard team, and is extremely rare."
Thanks to the few members of the SIM's dance club turning on a Sunday in school. A pretty short but interesting session which offered a representation of the club for the coming SIM open house.
We have made these special items to celebrate the opening of sim The Rumor.

UNESCO World Heritage Site: Simien National Park
Inscription Year on the List of World Heritage in Danger: 1996
Brief Description
Massive erosion over the years on the Ethiopian plateau has created one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, with jagged mountain peaks, deep valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500 m. The park is home to some extremely rare animals such as the Gelada baboon, the Simien fox and the Walia ibex, a goat found nowhere else in the world.
Parc national du Simien
Une érosion massive au cours des ans a formé sur le plateau éthiopien un des paysages les plus spectaculaires du monde, avec des pics, des vallées, et des précipices atteignant jusqu'à 1 500 m de profondeur. Le parc est le refuge d'animaux extrêmement rares, comme le babouin gelada, le renard du Simien ou Walia ibex, sorte de chèvre qu'on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs.

Национальный парк Сымен
Интенсивная многолетняя эрозия на Эфиопском нагорье привела к рождению одного из самых потрясающих ландшафтов на Земле. Ландшафт парка поражает зазубренными горными вершинами, глубокими ущельями и гигантскими отвесными обрывами высотой до 1500 м. Здесь обитают очень редкие звери, например, обезьяна гелада, эфиопский шакал, а также абиссинский горный козел – копытное, уцелевшее только в этих краях.

Parque Nacional de Simien
La erosión secular masiva ha creado en la meseta etíope uno de los paisajes más espectaculares del mundo con picos, valles hondos y precipicios escarpados que alcanzan los 1.500 metros de profundidad. El parque sirve de refugio a especies animales extremadamente raras como el babuino gelada, el zorro de Simien y el ibex walia, una cabra montesa que no se encuentra en ningún otro lugar del mundo.
